Weather went from bad to worse here in Chicagoland today. Trying to get my weekend running finished went from 90 minutes to 4 hours thanks to the sheet of ice that quickly covered the streets. And to make matters worse, I finished all my errands save one, get lunch. I got home to realize I was starving and didn’t pick anything up. Nothing was prepared for quick consumption, so I used my stocked pantry to make a quick meal.

Tasty and quick, it was like poor man’s Italian food. And you literally only need two ingredients.

Ramen Alfredo

1 package any variety ramen soup (I used Maruchan)

1/2 cup Cheesy Ragu Light Parmesan Alfredo sauce

Prepare the noodles by letting them steep in 2 cups of boiling water. Toss out the seasoning pack. You won’t need it. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a bowl. While still hot, mix in the Alfredo sauce until the noodles are coated. And eat!

This technically makes two servings, but does anyone really eat only half a bag of ramen? Didn’t think so.
